A smooth rounded face to the right of the Twin Ribs, offering moderate to difficult slab climbing.
NEW ROUTE DEVELOPMENT IS NOT ALLOWED. DON'T DO IT.

The Eardley Escarpment is contained in Gatineau Park, managed by the National Capital Commission (NCC). The NCC has closed climbing at all but a few of the crags. As of 2011, only Home Cliff (main corner area and rightwards to Piton Highway), Western Cwm (left or western side), the Twin Ribs (Copa Cabana and Down Under), and Eastern Block are open for climbing.
Cliff-top access is permitted only at Home Cliff and Western Cwm, at other crags climbs must be climbed from ground up.
The NCC, land-managers for Gatineau park, have a history of changing their web-page layout making direct-linking risky. As of fall 2018, their statement on climbing is available at: http://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/places/rock-climbing
While the origins of the closure was ecological sensitivity for the Eardley Escarpment (which is on the southern flank of the park), and originated as specific closures in that area, the current phrasing is a list of permitted areas within the park, meaning anything not in that list is, by omission, not open to climbing.
Follow Chemin de l'Hotel de Ville to the very end and park - leave room for other cars to turn around. Follow the path, keep left at the fork. Eventually it will curve slightly to the right, you will see two sets of wooden ladders, after that, stay to the right, and scramble up a rock slab which has a rope to help you get up.
Currently, the static rope that allowed easier access to Eastern Block up the steep rock slab has been removed.
Base of the crag is 45 31.889 N, 75 58.915 W.

No new development or bolting allowed. Strong tradition of leaving trad routes trad, even if badly run-out.
